I use photobucket to share images with my family, and have since my son was born, so changing would be just to difficult for the older family member's at this point.. My main complaint with photobucket is the file size can't be more then 800 x 600 which means I have to resize every single image I put on there. Is there a program that allows me to open up multiple images at one time, and resize them all at ONE TIME ??? This takes forever (well, maybe only 10-15 minutes or so, which to me, is wayyyyyy to long for just resizing) and I know I would upload more pictures for them to see if I could make this process easier & faster..

Thanks so much !!

I often use the 'Proofs' function of BreezeBrowser for this, but Picasa2 is free and you can export to HTML and discard everything but the 640/800/1024 sized images.

I have CS2... How do I use it to reduce more then one image at a time???.. My CS2 was reduced for student pricing so they didn't put any books with it or manuals on how to use any of it's programs.. So, I have no way of knowing.. Thanks so much

First you create an action to size the images the way you want. Then you run the batch command (File>Automate>Batch...) telling it to look in folder x, run action y, and save in folder z. There's detailed information on actions in Photoshop's Help on actions and batches.

Try this.
First put all the photos you want in a folder then go into CS2 and go to File->Automate->Web Gallery. From that window Where it says styles, pick simple. Where it says source images, click browse and find your folder of photos. Next is Destination and create a new folder somewhere not inside your folder where your photos are, this is where your photos will go. Below that you can click what size the largest dimension you want and make it 800 pixels and constrain both. Click ok, and it will make a little web gallery with images sized to 800 pixels. Then go into your folder you created and there should be a subfolder called images. You should have a bunch of resized photos there you can upload to photobucket. I hope :)
Edit: I knew someone would answer this by the time I was done typing :P
